Nominees

If the "rules/bylaws" call for 5 Board members, aren't we there? Is Rick automatically a Board member by virtue of his status as webmaster/owner? Obviously he has to be involved in the decision making, but if he does so without being a board member then we have a full slate and I think we should simply move the entire slate, thank them for agreeing to serve and move on. I think the new Board is a nice mix of talented and motivated folks and I'm sure they'll do well.:)

The rules call for 5 members including Rick. He is an equal and active member of the board.

Please give Rick a day or two to set up the elections. They will come soon.

I agree.....let's have 5 and move on. Let's have 4 and Rick and move on....I don't care...let's just MOVE ON!

If Brdad wants to stay, let's keep them all and go with it...that way if someone can not participate as needed, they can drop off and we don't have to do this all over again.

Yes! I can state I was a geocaching community organizer! Instant hire! Oh wait; I am self-employed, no resume required. Good thing, who would hire me? :D

5 members including the webmaster works best, especially since there are no ties on board votes.

Once the election is over, we can discuss alternatives to an election and the efficiency of this one. By we should stick to the process that was decided upon for this one. Lets not confuse everyone by changing this one half way through.

I would like to hear from some of the candidates!

What opinions do you have, and why should we vote for you?
